Hey Guys: Not sure this is the correct forum to let you all know that I probably won't be checking out F.T. for awhile. Had a colonoscopy a few weeks ago and, after agonizing surgery, it has been determined that I have anal cancer. A PET scan has confirmed that it has not spread, and the cure rate is said to be almost 100%. BUT I begin a combination chemo/radiation treatment program on Feb. 6th, ending on March 26th. Will be kinda toiugh, I guess, but at least my mind will be off of my dick, for a change!
Wish me luck, men, and I certainly hope that all of you will find satisfactory solutions to all of your problems too. You have all been wonderfully supportive. This is the only site I am keeping open (I have unsubscribed to Skype, yahoo groups and all my other private retreats in the interest of privacy), so I will give a holler at the end of the ordeal - hopefully fully recovered and raring to go! Bill

Bill,
I am saddened to hear of this and will pray for you. I’ve never heard of such a short time for treatment; sounds intense, but I’ll assume that it’s a good thing. Please keep us updated with everything by posting here or stopping by in the chat room We will be looking for you.

I'm sure all will go well.
I have a friend who had a similar situation and all turned out well
Keep us posted.
I don't pray, but you will be in my thoughts.

Re: implant not my first priority for a change
You guys are awesome. I will keep in touch. Not sure I made clear that my treatment will last 6-7 weeks. Does not seem so short to me! Yikes! Warm wishes to all. Bill

Good luck and God speed Bill. You are in our prayers.

I will add my best wishes to the chorus. I'll also try to remember to include you in my prayers (seems like I forget half of what I want to pray about.) Godspeed, my friend!

Re: implant not my first priority for a change
Bill, you're a tough guy and healthy---so you will come out the other side of the tunnel worn out all right, but hopefully like a new man. All the best, glad this was discovered in early stages, hang in there man. bruce
